<a name="index-bugs_002c-known"></a>
<a name="index-installation-trouble"></a>
<a name="index-known-causes-of-trouble"></a>

<p>This section describes known problems that affect users of GCC.  Most
of these are not GCC bugs per se&mdash;if they were, we would fix them.
But the result for a user may be like the result of a bug.
</p>
<p>Some of these problems are due to bugs in other software, some are
missing features that are too much work to add, and some are places
where people&rsquo;s opinions differ as to what is best.
